List of same-sex married couples

This is a list of gay marital pairs.

To qualify, at least one member of each couple must be considered notable enough to have their own Wikipedia page.

The lists are organized by alphabetic order, according to surnames.

The Deceased or widowed section is for spouses who were married to each other at the moment when one or both of them died. A pair is to be listed in the Divorced section if the persons are divorced, regardless of whether either of them is alive or dead at present.

Featured is the year of each marriage; however, because same-sex marriage did not begin being legalized in different countries until the 2000s and 2010s, some of the partners had known each other for much longer, sometimes decades.
